"Wow, a million Tier 4 magic crystals, how much does that cost?"
"No wonder Wen Tianzong wouldn't let them go. If they escaped, Wanwu Tower would suffer a huge loss, wouldn't it?"
"Exactly, but these people are really bold. They actually dared to go to the arena to win so much money, and then brazenly come to the lord's mansion. They're really not afraid of death!"
"If you're afraid of dying, why would you win so much money? You must be cheating!"
"Hahaha! That's right!"
"..."
A murmur arose from the surrounding crowd, accompanied by a large number of elven and treant guards who gathered around.
Ye Chen and the others wore grim expressions, and all the members of the clan were on high alert, ready to fight at any moment.
"It seems you haven't learned your lesson yet! I could kill so many people back then without hesitation. Do you think these elves and treants can protect you?" Ye Chen said, looking at Wen Tianzong.
To be honest, dealing with this guy is indeed a bit troublesome. After all, he's the son of a major shareholder of Wanwulou. Making an enemy of him and killing him are two different things.
The former still has room for compromise, but if they are killed, it will completely cut off their path to becoming a lord, creating an irreconcilable feud. At that time, even the shares of Duobao Trading Network will probably have difficulty stopping Wanwulou's attack.
"Hmph! Don't think I don't know. If you don't dare to kill me, I'll only be punished. If you kill me, you won't survive after leaving the trial space either. After all, you'll be hunted down by the entire Myriad Things Pavilion!" Wen Tianzong's heart trembled, and then he said with a cold smile.
This is what he figured out at the landing point. Ye Chen killed an insignificant nobody just to intimidate them, but in reality, the other side didn't dare to kill powerful figures like them, because that would be making a blood feud with the Wanwu Tower!
"So that's what you're thinking? So you think I'm afraid of being hunted down by the Myriad Things Tower?" Ye Chen chuckled, completely ignoring the elves and treants who had surrounded him. He waved to Ye Xi beside him. He had brought two people and two beasts to the island, and now only Ye Xi and the Hou in her arms remained by his side.
But Ye Chen believed that the man and the beast alone were enough to ensure his safe escape.
Seeing Ye Chen's actions, Ye Xi took two steps forward while holding Hou, standing in front of the crowd. Even when facing a large number of elves and tree people, he showed no fear.
Ye Xi, at the peak of the fourth rank, has the strength to contend with the fifth rank by relying on many techniques such as the "Celestial Immortal Technique". Not to mention the Hou in her arms, which is also an existence that can ignore the rank. When it was only at the third rank, it released the sixth-rank Oros.
"Awoo~~~" The little guy bared its four teeth, looking quite cute, but only those who truly understand it can comprehend its terrifying nature.
"What? Aren't you afraid? If you're so capable, then kill me! Let's see if you can survive!" The more he thought about it, the more he felt this way. Wen Tianzong said with a disdainful look, as if he liked to see the other party wanting to kill him but being powerless to do so.
"I know you set up this Duobao Trading Network. Actually, there are many lords like this every year. Everyone thought they could bring down Wanwu Tower, but what's the reality? Can you still hear the voices of these lords now? The strength of Wanwu Tower is beyond what you poor buns can imagine."
"Like that saying goes, 'You think this is what the life of a tycoon is like? No, you can't even imagine what the life of a tycoon is like! Hahaha!'"
Wen Tianzong became increasingly arrogant as he spoke, and his gaze toward Ye Chen grew more and more disdainful. A country bumpkin like him would never have existed in his world in the first place. He was just lucky enough to awaken a spark of hope, but in the end, he was just like those so-called geniuses, fading into obscurity. Did he really think that having a little talent meant he could do whatever he wanted?
However, as Wen Tianzong spoke, he noticed that everyone around him was staring at him blankly with strange looks in their eyes.
Not only that, but a huge shadow appeared behind him at some point, completely obscuring him.
Wen Tianzong's heart trembled. He slowly turned around and a tuft of gray fur came into his view. Looking up, he saw a huge rabbit's mouth, which was opening its bloody maw to bite him.
Unbeknownst to them, the Hou that had been nestled in Ye Xi's arms had disappeared and appeared behind Wen Tianzong after growing larger.
"Then do you know what it means for a villain to die from talking too much?" Before Ye Chen could finish speaking, Hou had already swallowed him whole, leaving the other party looking on in horror.
"Ah!!" Exclamations of surprise came from all around. Ye Chen's sudden move was clearly unexpected by everyone, and no one expected that such a large rabbit would suddenly appear and eat Wen Tianzong as a snack.
"What? What kind of creature is this? It can even grow bigger? Even dragons and Titans can't do that, right?" Many people exclaimed in shock, watching helplessly as the Hou shrank back to a harmless little rabbit and quickly darted back into Ye Xi's arms.
"I don't know. I've never seen a rabbit race like this before. No, I've never seen the kind of clan next to him either. Even if a human is the lord of a clan, they wouldn't be this strong, would they?" Ye Xi's appearance obviously attracted everyone's attention, but she was too lazy to care about it because she was about to face a large number of elves and treants.
"Damn it! You actually killed Lord Wen! We can't let them leave!" the leading elven guard shouted, and all the elves and treants snapped out of their daze and rushed towards Ye Chen.
"I'm really curious, whose clan are you? How come you obey Wen Tianzong so readily? Kids, wake them up!" Ye Chen said coldly.
"Roar~~~" As soon as the words fell, the Hou attacked again. This time, it was not because its size had increased, but because it used its clan's signature move, the Roar to the Sky.
The deafening roar was deafening, and everyone felt a ringing in their ears, followed by dizziness and seeing golden light.
This was only because the Hou hadn't attacked them; otherwise, given the physiques of these lords who hadn't yet cultivated, that roar would have been enough to kill them.
Similarly, the elves directly in front of the roar were thrown off balance by the enormous roar, and the nimble elves were sent flying by the roar, crashing into the lord's mansion behind them.
Even the fourth-tier treant guards covered their ears, feeling a ringing in their heads.
With a roar, Ye Chen silenced everyone. He didn't make another move but waited quietly.
These were, after all, the relatives of Si Meng's subordinates, and it wouldn't be good to kill them rashly. Moreover, the roar was so loud that she couldn't possibly have missed it while inside the lord's mansion.
Sure enough, as the roars subsided, the tree people gradually regained their senses and prepared to continue attacking Ye Chen and the others. Si Meng had already led her people out of the lord's mansion.
"Stop! What are you doing?" Si Mengli shouted, and all the tree-men who were attacking immediately stopped.
